Among the plants most loved for their beauty: the\u00a0orchid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we talk about orchids<\/strong> we are actually referring to a family<\/strong> that includes many varieties<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most widespread<\/strong> and the one most frequently found in our homes is the phalaenopsis orchid<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the cold months, this plant prepares for vegetative growth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how to take better care of it, giving it everything it needs to bloom<\/strong> abundantly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple: with a good natural fertilizer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s find out together how to prepare fertilizers<\/strong> for our orchids yourself in a practical, fast and, above all, natural way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention<\/strong> : Do you have doubts or perplexities? Contact your trusted florist or gardener who will be able to help you with the right advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banana peels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Surely the most famous natural fertilizer for orchids is given by banana peels <\/strong>, full of potassium<\/strong> that stimulate flowering<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have more ways, however, to prepare a fertilizer<\/strong> with this ingredient<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banana maceration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first method is perhaps the simplest. You have to take a banana peel<\/strong>, wash it and cut it into small pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, put them in a bowl<\/strong> with 2 L of water<\/strong> to macerate for about 48 hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of this period, filter the mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The liquid obtained will have absorbed all the nutrients from the banana peel<\/strong>: you can use it as irrigation water for your orchids<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banana tea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take a banana peel<\/strong> and cut it into small pieces. Then, place them on a cutting board and expose them to direct sunlight for about 48 hours<\/strong>: you will notice that the skin is drying out, becoming harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, put the peels in the blender<\/strong> : you will thus get a powdered<\/strong> mixture .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use one teaspoon, pouring it into about 200 ml of hot water<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then let it cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tea<\/strong> obtained, once cold, must be poured into the soil of your orchid<\/strong> : the plant will thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banana powder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This method is also very practical. In this case, after drying the banana peels<\/strong> in the sun, they should be put in the oven<\/strong> at 70 \u00b0C<\/strong> until they are completely dry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, take them out of the oven<\/strong> and reduce them to powder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The powder<\/strong> is dispersed as fertilizer<\/strong> on the soil<\/strong> surface .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you set the ashes<\/strong> of the fireplace<\/strong> aside during the winter<\/strong> ? Good idea! In fact, you can use it as fertilizer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, you should spread it in your orchid’s<\/strong> soil<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously do it after watering<\/strong>, otherwise the water will cancel the effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash is rich in natural ingredients<\/strong>. However, it lacks nitrogen and phosphorus, so you will need to supplement<\/strong> with other fertilizers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An excellent natural fertilizer<\/strong> that you can prepare… for every meal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You simply have to use the cooking water from the vegetables<\/strong> to water your plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, during cooking<\/strong>, these foods release a lot of nutrients<\/strong> into the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, be careful never to use salt water, otherwise, you <\/strong>will kill<\/strong> your orchid<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eggshells<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A natural<\/strong> fertilizer <\/strong>rich in minerals<\/strong> and easy to obtain: eggshells<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you need to do is take small pieces of eggshell<\/strong> and sprinkle them on the ground<\/strong> around your orchid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before long, the soil<\/strong> will absorb the nutrients from the husks<\/strong>, making the plant <\/strong>thrive<\/strong> more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to use these natural fertilizers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These natural fertilizers should be used very carefully<\/strong>. Using them too often could damage your orchid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the winter months<\/strong>, fertilize at least once a month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the plant is coming out of its vegetative resting<\/strong> period , fertilize twice<\/strong> in accordance with the waterings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One secret is to start fertilizing<\/strong> more often when new shoots<\/strong> are about to develop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
